    Update on our week: Andy talks about the Bears winning the NFC North and having their best year in a very long time. The guys discuss the coaching changes over the years and the great run they’ve had this year. For Christmas/NYE, Andy brings up liking to cook and eat Prime Rib, and talks about how many of our Hispanic family would consider it raw, despite Prime Rib being a meat that needs to be eaten less thoroughly cooked than other cuts. Daniel sheds light on a new documentary/film he watched, Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas, and discusses the premise being the birth of Jesus and its historical interpretations and different possibilities. Daniel’s recent visit to White castle alarmed him at the higher price of a White Castle slider. A typical 10 sack meal with fries now reaches the $20 price point, leading all the guys to discuss how overinflated pricing has become. The guys unanimously agree that Die hard is a Christmas movie, and Daniel brings up how he watched it recently as his yearly tradition around the Christmas season. Noel recently bought and watched 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 4k via Arrow Video’s physical release. He goes into detail on how this movie was a big part of his childhood and how much he was looking forward to seeing it restored and presented in 4k. Noel gives a gaming update and fills us in on his first playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Noel gives a shoutout to Bibibop, a Korean Food Chain that really wowed Noel in terms of quality and taste for the price. Its a more nutritious option and a step up from Panda Express or other Asian spots. Warning: May have Strong Language and Content. ========== Thank you to everyone who enjoys what we do.

    Update on our week: FFR is finally back together! Andy kicks off the week by breaking down John Cena’s final match, sharing his honest take on the bout and reflecting on Cena’s legendary career. He also dives into a very modern dilemma—upgrading phones with his wife. Was the switch smooth, or a total headache? Noel brings the hype with the newly released Street Fighter live-action movie trailer. Does it embrace the over-the-top, cartoony style fans love, or aim for a darker, more serious tone? He also takes a nostalgia trip, rewatching classic episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and sharing why the series still hits decades later. Plus, Noel fires up Horizon Forbidden West on the PS5 Pro—is the sequel a true next-gen upgrade? Daniel wraps things up by spotlighting the HBO Max documentary The Shuffle, which dives into the wild origins of the iconic Super Bowl Shuffle and how the 1985 Chicago Bears turned a football team into a pop-culture phenomenon. A little wrestling, a little gaming, a lot of nostalgia—this episode has it all.
